Most Kenyans unwilling to sign petition for national vote, poll results show

More than 50 per cent of Kenyans are not willing to sign the petition that would lead to a referendum if called upon to do so. This is according to an opinion poll commissioned by Standard Media Group on  Kenyans’ opinion on the referendum.

Of the regions polled, Central and Rift Valley showed the greatest levels of disinterest in the process, with more than 84 per cent of those polled from the President’s backyard saying they would not support calls to sign the petition. More than 69 per cent of those polled from the Deputy President’s stronghold are similarly opposed.
